Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 447 The Weight of Mount Tai
Li Xiuyuan and Dongyue Shenjun were debating in the Dongyue Hall in the Heavenly Palace.

What Li Xiuyuan upholds is humanity, what he insists on is orderly reincarnation, good and evil are rewarded, and cannot be avoided just because he is a ghost. The reason why there are many ghosts and gods in his humanity is because his philosophy is fair and just. .

People who commit evil will be punished, and ghosts and gods will also be punished for committing evil.

Therefore, kind people and ghosts and gods naturally hope that the world will become like this, otherwise kind people will be oppressed by evil people, and ghosts and gods with righteous thoughts will be oppressed by evil gods with profound morality. This is what they don't want to see.

But Dongyue Shenjun is the opposite.

He is the god of Taishan Mountain, who has attained the Tao. He has been a god for a long time.

Use the divine way to control all ways, as one from ancient times.

The idea of ​​Shinto is also supported by many gods, because they have been gods for a long time, so they naturally hope to be superior, enjoy the incense and offerings of mortals, live at ease forever, and live forever. Why are they willing to give up Shinto and support humanity?
Therefore, this is not a simple battle, but a collision between the divine way and the human way.

Although Taishan God and Li Xiuyuan are enemies, they can sit together peacefully at this moment, arguing with each other within a few feet of each other.

Maybe some ghosts and gods think that this is superfluous. Since they are already enemies, they should fight and the winner will win.

In fact, this is the wrong approach.

How can the battle between Shinto and humanity be so casual, the first thing to do is to spread your own ideas.

Li Xiuyuan took this opportunity to spread his philosophy of humanity, and God of Mount Tai was also spreading his philosophy of Shinto.

When the concept spreads, all ghosts and gods in the world will have their own choices.

At that time, the winner in the battle can truly implement his own ideas, otherwise he will win by fighting now.Because ideas cannot be spread, there will still be many ghosts and gods who support Shinto or humanity.

Such a battle would be meaningless.

Kill one Li Xiuyuan, and there will be saints born in the future. As long as people don't die, saints will always appear. It is impossible for God to kill all people.

In the same way, there are countless ghosts and gods in the world after killing a Taishan god. The ghosts and gods are endless, and the gods who uphold the divine way will still appear.

Only when ideas are spread smoothly and victories are achieved, can they be guaranteed forever.

Just like the hundreds of schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period, they have different ideas, but only the ideas of Confucianism have spread, and they have been passed down from generation to generation, endlessly.

"This is indeed the exquisite heart with seven apertures. Your mind is smarter than ghosts and gods. I can neither win nor lose the argument between this god and you."

After a long time, Dongyue Shenjun suddenly and slowly spoke, with a bit of exclamation in his tone.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm smart, but that I uphold the right way, which is in line with the philosophy of heaven and earth. So I'm not afraid of debate."

Dongyue Shenjun said again: "This is also the reason why this god hid himself in the fairy palace and avoided seeing you, a saint in the world, for the past 20 years. Once a person sees a god and has confronted him, what is in his heart for the god? This kind of awe will disappear, and you will start to think about God, ponder God’s thoughts, and thus understand God, and when a mortal understands God, mortals will feel that the so-called God is nothing more than this.”

"This god will tell you a story, do you have the patience to listen?"

Li Xiuyuan said: "The story of Shenjun is different, I wish to hear it in detail."

He has always told stories to others, and it was the first time that others told him stories.

Dongyue Shenjun said slowly: "In the past, there were two mortals, one mortal was reviled because of his bad fortune, and the other god couldn't see it anymore and decided to send down divine lightning to kill this mortal, so this mortal was struck by thunder all day and night. After he was killed, the people in the nearby villages all clapped their hands and applauded, thinking that this was a manifestation from the heavens, and thanked the heavens for killing this mortal.

"That's the so-called will of God."

"However, the second mortal also committed the same thing as the first mortal, and the other god couldn't stand it anymore, and decided to show his spirit to kill this mortal, but it happened to be seen by other common people, so the nearby common people began to criticize Seeing the cruelty and inhumanity of this god, I finally felt that this god is an evil spirit, destroyed the temple of this god, and destroyed the statue of this god.”

"That's called public opinion."

"The same thing, the same process, the same result, but the two gods got different results because of their different methods. In fact, the will of God and the people are nothing more than God's will. The human way you uphold is nothing more than a shame. It’s just a saying, if your ideas are correct, then the essence of uncovering that veil is still the divine way.”

Dongyue Shenjun finished speaking and looked at Li Xiuyuan: "The sage thinks this god's words are justified?"

"Shen Jun said well."

As soon as these words came out, the gods under his command suddenly realized that they were all overjoyed, thinking that the divine way is the inconvenient way and the root of everything.

Even the ghosts and gods under Li Xiuyuan's command began to think about the words of Dongyue Shenjun with a bit of thoughtfulness.

However, Li Xiuyuan snorted at this moment: "Absurd, although there are some truths, but they are just fallacies. There is no truth in your story, only fooling and deceit. People don't know God and kill people, so God lies about God's will and uses God's will. Convincing the common people is a way of fooling the people, just like the treacherous officials in the world who murder loyal officials, fabricate crimes, deceive the emperor and let the emperor order to kill them, but the common people don't know, and think that the people who are punished are really traitors and traitors. I don’t know that the one who was actually killed was Zhongliang.”

"If that person deserves to be killed, I have nothing to say. Death by God's will, God's will, and public opinion are all the same. However, God has been doing justice for the sky for a long time. It is inevitable that he will use his power for personal gain. And ask me, am I the one to die?"

Dongyue Shenjun said: "The sage has profound merits, he has done good deeds and accumulated virtues, and his ancestors have been good people for five generations, so he is not a person who deserves to die."

"If I don't deserve to die, why would a god come to punish me?"

As soon as these words came out, Dongyue Shenjun shut up, and all the gods in the hall fell silent, and their hearts began to waver again.

Li Xiuyuan continued: "Killing me is the most obvious way for gods to use their power for personal gain, under the guise of God's will. How can gods be unfair, good and evil are not distinguished, and dare to replace God's will and do justice for heaven? The living beings in the world? Your divine way is not based on correct ideas, but on the way you rely on, the top ten marshals under your command, and countless heavenly soldiers and generals."

"So your Shinto is not the correct Shinto, but overbearing."

"In the mortal world, there was a dynasty more than a thousand years ago, called the Qin Dynasty. Qin Shihuang unified the seven kingdoms, and his achievements surpassed the past and the present. Why did the second generation die? It is nothing more than relying on force. It was not used to govern the people, but to maintain the imperial power. Therefore The tyrannical government of the Qin Dynasty was fierce and fierce, although it was powerful for a while, it could not last long. When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang raised their arms, the Great Qin was destroyed in an instant, and even the powerful army that unified the seven kingdoms was powerless."

"This is the consequence of domineering. If the emperor wants to be Qin Shihuang, I don't mind being Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. I don't know if the emperor thinks my words are reasonable?"

After speaking, Li Xiuyuan looked at Dongyue Shenjun with burning eyes.

Shenjun's previous words had a great impact, but Li Xiuyuan's words had an even greater impact.

As his words fell, the ghosts and gods in the hall were extremely shaken.

At this moment, the ghosts and gods who were talented scholars stood up excitedly and cupped their hands to Li Xiuyuan: "The ancients once said that if you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening. Today, the little god heard the sage's discourse on the Tao, and all the doubts in his heart disappeared, and he believed even more firmly in the gods. Shinto is just to maintain his superior rule, it is not a fair and just Shinto, and Xiaosheng will never be fooled by his words again."

"Today we know the sinister hearts of some gods. They use the name of the way of heaven to do domineering things. Throughout the ages, I don't know how many innocent creatures have died in the hands of these unfair gods. If such gods continue to rule If it continues, the world will only become darker and darker in the future, and there will never be a better time."

"That's right, no matter how advanced the gods are, and how many heavenly soldiers and generals there are, we are willing to follow the saints in the world and die a hundred times without regret."

"Yes, a hundred deaths without regrets."

Tens of thousands of ghosts and gods drank together, the sound vibrated for nine days, and the righteous thoughts in their hearts were aroused, and even the ghosts and gods also emitted a bluish-white light.

This bluish-white light gathered together and enveloped the entire hall, then rushed out of the hall and scattered towards the Heavenly Palace.

The light is as bright as a bright lamp lit in the Heavenly Palace.

Countless fairies, celestial soldiers, celestial generals, and all kinds of immortals and demons in the fairy palace saw this light.

This light is the light of righteous belief. Ordinary ghosts with such light are ghosts, and ghost soldiers will not bully them, because such people are respected, and they must be a person of good fortune and goodness in the next life.

But tens of thousands of ghosts and gods inspire such light, which illuminates not the afterlife, but the road to enlightenment ahead.

"This is the light of the righteous way of a saint in the world. If the ghosts and gods before were just protecting the way, then these ghosts and gods are also the same generation now, and the status of a saint in the world has been achieved."

In one part of the Immortal Palace, a Taoist man wearing Taoist robes with vertical eyes on his forehead looked at the place inspired by the light with a smile on his face.

"Does the radiance of the Immortal Palace symbolize the prosperity of humanity and the decline of the divine way?" A god from another place muttered to himself.

"This light can shine through the ages, this is what I want to pursue."

Seeing this, a young immortal became a little excited, and couldn't help but rushed to the place shrouded in light.

But there are not a few gods who think like this.

The reason why many people become gods is precisely because they enjoyed offerings while they were in the mortal world, and at the same time killed evil spirits and exorcised ghosts for the people, and won the love of the people.

Although it took a long time to become a god, in the hearts of some gods, they still have compassion for all peoples, and they do not want the people in the world to suffer from suffering and injustice.

However, the world is like this, many gods are just powerless, they can only live in seclusion in the heavenly palace, and don't care about world affairs.

However, the appearance of Li Xiuyuan brought them a new way and gave them a chance to realize their ideals.

How does this not know the gods to follow?

Shrouded in light, they soared into the sky, and the gods in the heavenly palace looked like a rising sun from a distance, instantly overshadowing all the brilliance of the sun, moon and stars.

Moreover, although the light is bright, it is not dazzling, but no ghosts and gods dare to stop in front of the road, and they dare not be enveloped by the light, because the thoughts in the light are too strong, like steel, like Mountains, invincible and unstoppable, seem to contain a huge indescribable power.

The Dongyue God Sovereign in the Dongyue Hall was moved at this moment.

In this debate between divine way and human way, I didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan not only won, but also subdued tens of thousands of ghosts and gods with his way, making them willing to set foot on this way.

Dao and Dao are two completely different meanings.

Dao protectors may have people who judge the situation and the situation. As long as Li Xiuyuan forgets, the Dao protectors will die, but the Dao practitioners are different. Even if Li Xiuyuan dies, his Dao will still be passed on, and it will still be passed down.

The way is endless, and there will be thousands of ghosts and gods like Li Xiuyuan appearing in the future.

"This person's way will never be fulfilled." Dongyue Shenjun felt a great threat in his heart.

He has witnessed the change of dynasties in the mortal world for 2000 years. He has also witnessed the birth of countless saints and led an era. .

But after 2000, Shinto still prevails.

The scholars of the Spring and Autumn Period died, and although the ideas left behind were inherited, there were very few.

The saints of the past dynasties also died. Although they were admired by all people, their names resounded throughout the world, and all ghosts and gods worshiped them, but hundreds of years later, they were just a wave on the river that disappeared on the shore.

Nothing to be afraid of.

Only this person, this Li Xiuyuan, this born sage, did not inherit the unparalleled learning for the sake of the past, did not establish a life for all people, did not create peace for all generations, but only set his mind for the world.

What is pursued is that good and evil are rewarded, reincarnation is orderly, and ghosts, gods, gods, and Buddhas are all treated equally.

Its extension is the co-governance of man and god.

Break the privilege of gods, and hand over the morals of the world to gods and people to manage together, so that good people will be rewarded, good gods can enjoy incense and offerings, and bad gods and gods who do nothing should be demolished temples, captured and killed.

Dongyue Shenjun saw this clearly, so he became more determined to prevent Li Xiuyuan from becoming a Taoist.

If this way is successful, there will be no such thing as Taishan God in the world in the future.

The grand occasion of the emperors of all dynasties enshrining Zen in Mount Tai will never happen again.

Suddenly.

Dongyue Shenjun stood up, facing the dazzling light in the hall.

His body is as tall as a mountain, his face is calm, and he exudes a majesty that makes ghosts and gods surrender.

Can't continue to discuss the Tao, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Li Xiuyuan saw Dongyue Shenjun's move, his eyes fixed, and he also stood up, holding the immortal sword tightly in his hand.

His idea has been spread today, and it will be spread all over the world in a short time, so that the ghosts and gods in the world will know, and it will definitely bring a catastrophe, a catastrophe related to the gods in the world.

This catastrophe is unavoidable, as long as those who do evil, the gods who do evil, and the gods who enjoy incense and worship but do nothing will all respond to catastrophe.

Because Li Xiuyuan is still there, Dao is still there, Jie will not disappear.

"Although your Taoism is better than this god, there are thousands of principles in the world. If an idea is to be implemented and carried forward, it must have corresponding strength. Since ancient times, there are countless people who died halfway. Li Xiuyuan, Do you think your way will be implemented?" Dongyue Shenjun asked.

"There is no way in the world, and there will be a way if there are many people walking."

Li Xiuyuan said lightly: "The reason why the way cannot be achieved is because there are thorns in front of us, and fierce beasts block it, and no one dares to go. Today I am walking in front, overcoming the thorns and thorns, killing the beasts, and opening a way. Why won't future generations follow me?" I may not be able to complete this path by myself, but future generations will also go on for me, so my way will definitely be accomplished."

Dongyue Shenjun was silent again. This Li Xiuyuan may not be a Taoist, but he is a Taoist. The threat is the same.

Then he said: "Since that's the case, that god has nothing to say, but do you know the weight of mountains and rivers?"

"I don't know." Li Xiuyuan said.

"The river is the Yangtze River, the mountain is Mount Tai, and the god is the God of Mount Tai, who commands all gods and ghosts, and controls the life and death of the human world. Can you bear the weight of Mount Tai?" Dongyue Shenjun's eyes glowed, majestic and majestic, and then He opened his palm, and a small mountain appeared in his hand.

The shape of the mountain is exactly the same as that of Mount Tai, with all kinds of vegetation, hills and valleys.

This is Dongyue Taishan.

Li Xiuyuan clenched the knife in his hand: "Then do you know the power of people's hearts?"

"Peace of mind can outweigh Mount Tai."

"As the saying goes, if Taoist people are united, Mount Tai will move. Don't you know this saying?"

Dongyue Shenjun said: "Since this is the case, please ask the sage to pick up the mountain."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and shook it, the hill in his hand flew out in an instant, and then opened up against the wind, it turned into a majestic mountain and enveloped the hall in an instant, covering all the ghosts and gods in it.

The mountains are not real, but the color of illusion.

Although it seems illusory, it feels as if a real Mount Tai has been pressed down. Before it gets close, it makes the ghosts and gods in the hall feel terrified.

This is the siege of Mount Tai.

Dongyue Shenjun actually wanted to crush Mount Tai, and buried all the saints in the world together with a thousand ghosts and gods in the Dongyue Hall.

"Shenjun, the subordinates and others are also under Mount Tai."

Afterwards, several marshals found that something was wrong, and the gods such as themselves were also shrouded by Mount Tai.
